MES HYDRA X for Process

HYDRA X for Process is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that enables continuous monitoring, control, and optimization of production processes. Developed specifically for the requirements of the process industry, it provides full transparency of equipment, batches, and resources — even in complex environments with variable raw materials, long production cycles, and sophisticated formulations. This allows companies to operate efficiently, safely, and with maximum process reliability.

The functional scope of HYDRA X for Process goes far beyond that of traditional MES solutions. In addition to production control, the system includes process-oriented support functions such as raw material supply, recipe and formulation management, energy and quality monitoring, comprehensive batch documentation, and digital checklists for standardized procedures and inspections.

Based on a modular platform architecture, HYDRA X for Process can be flexibly expanded. Using the Manufacturing Integration Platform (MIP), manufacturers can combine precisely those manufacturing apps (mApps) that best support their production needs. These applications are designed specifically for process-driven operations, including compounding management, process safety and integrity, and provisioning logistics. This ensures regulatory compliance, auditability, and reliable operation in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, flavors, and fragrances.
